Team Places First in WESTEC Manufacturing Challenge

Cal State L.A.'s Technology student team recently garnered first place in the University Category at the highly regarded WESTEC 2008 Manufacturing Challenge, a creative annual manufacturing competition where college students engineer and manufacture products for judging by manufacturing professionals, held at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Members from the Cal State L.A. team include: Blake Cortis, Thomas Cisneros, Danley Dizon, Mike Frausto, and Mark Hirami.

WESTEC is where North America's technology users and sellers collaborate-production challenges are solved, and long-term relationships are built through key face-to-face interaction on the show floor. Exhibitors can build relationships with prospective customers, and attendees can establish trust in companies they buy from.

WESTEC is cosponsored by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), the world's leading professional society serving the manufacturing industries. Founded in 1932, SME has some 60,000 members in 70 countries and supports a network of hundreds of chapters worldwide.
